atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52834 to this issue.

Upstream advisory: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2024052109-CVE-2023-52834-4c46@gregkh/T

Other sources

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

atl1c: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue

This is based on alx driver commit 881d0327db37 ("net: alx: Work around the DMA RX overflow issue").

The alx and atl1c drivers had RX overflow error which was why a custom allocator was created to avoid certain addresses. The simpler workaround then created for alx driver, but not for atl1c due to lack of tester.

Instead of using a custom allocator, check the allocated skb address and use skbreserve() to move away from problematic 0x...fc0 address.

Tested on AR8131 on Acer 4540.

Linux Kernel is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an DMA RX overflow issue. By sending a specially crafted request, a local authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
